Subject: This Letter is Personal & Private, Treat As Such
N° 4218 "L" Zogbohoue, Cotono Republique Du Benin
Dear Colleague,
This Letter is Personal & Private, Treat As Such
With all due respect to your personality, I plead with you not to feel
disturbed as I know that business of this nature and approach will surely
make one apprehensive.
I write to solicit your utmost confidence, knowing too well that we have
neither known nor met each other before, but because of the confidentiality
of this matter. Having tinkered over the best way to bring this project to a
success, I then seek your contact from our National Overseas Directorate.
The fact is that I want to vest the status of Appointed Owner on you for the
Fund Portfolio of my client, Mr. Jeff Harrel, who died in West Africa here
and left undisclosed sum of One Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars, without a specified next of kin to inherit the deposit at the time
of his death.
This is because he died in an helicopter crash while coming back from the
Sao Tome where he received the a payment of this One Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars from one of his various West African
off-shore Oil transactions. As his Advisor, I went with him and was the one
that lodged the money in the newly opened Contigency Account. The lodgement
is undeclared.
My name is Nedi F.U.J Lama, I am an University of Leeds trained Lawyer and
the chief executive officer of my Law firm which is the Consultants and
Portfolio Managers to the Late Jeff Harrel estates.
As you know in our country financial Laws, within 6 months of deposition of
27-Day Revolving Term fund and there was no declaration on the renwal by
the depositee, after the expiration of the 6 months the lodgement becomes
voided and null. And it is now months after his death which is also of the
date of deposit.
For the past months, all the effort of my firm to trace any relative of the
Late Mr. Jeff Harrel has proved abortive. And, I do not want this funds to
go into the hands of our corrupt officials if I decide to return it, because
definitely they would embezzle it.
My interest in this abandoned deposit is as follows:
1) To see that this undeclared fund is not handed over back to the payer.
2) To make you as the authorized payee to the late Mr. Jeff Harrel and whom
he had raised a voucher for due payment the said fund before his death.
3) To ensure that the deposited funds is transferred to you as your payment.
Bear in mind that the entire transaction is risk-free and legitimate since
I am his lawyer and have in my custody all the various documents of Late Mr.
Jeff Harrel which are important to making this possible.Besides, the paying
source knows me very well as his Lawyer having moderated most of his deals.
If this proposition is acceptable by you, respond to me by this email:
*nediflamaesq@yahoo.com.br*
Include your name, address and mobile telephone so that I can call you for
detailed discussion as soon as possible. But if not acceptable by you, do
not take advantage of it to betray me. Remember that doing business over the
Internet could sometimes be inevitable.
God bless.
